Netflix and Ryan Murphy’s ‘Monster’ Season 2, Focused on Menendez Brothers, Gets Release Date

'The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' — following the well-known case of real-life brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents — hits the streamer Sept. 19.

The synopsis reads: “While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed — and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole — that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents. Fox and CBS aired TV movies about the murders in 1994, Lifetime ran Menendez: Blood Brothers in 2017 and Law & Order: True Crime on NBC also focused on the case, with Edie Falco starring as Abramson. Alexis Martin Woodall, Eric Kovtun, David McMillan, Louise Shore, Carl Franklin, Scott Robertson and Bardem executive produce Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, alongside creators Murphy and Ian Brennan.
